3100lb
273hp
probably reliable
and only $21k msrp.

no one can touch that.

 

And nobody better say SRT4. I thought it was going to be $25k. That's real nice. Is this yours? thoughts?

 

Huh, only $21k? If thats the case, when they hit the showrooms, I'll be trading in the wife's 3 for that beautiful thang! All hale MazdaSpeed! Thanks for the sweet pics by the way.

 

That's AWD right? I like it! It looks great.

 

no, no awd. lsd tho.

color me impressed when they drop THAT engine in a Miata and keep it under 25k

 

fwd.


I'm too cheap to make payments on a car, so no, thats not my car. Its like the perfect daily though.

 

I can't wait to see one of those get stuffed in a miata. I've been considering the MZR swap, but don't know if they will even fit. When my father scores one in one of his auto salvage yards, I'll get serious. Until then, I plan on doing a turbo system on a 1.8.

 

if it was only awd or rwd.

 

suppossed to be FWD w/ = length axles...no tq steer

 

Reviews in the papers here of the mzspd 3 have said it does have some torque steer... with the "mods" to make it not have it, it would be next to impossible to drive. Right now, it's at a "fun" level... <G>

Drool.... too bad all we get is red north of the border.....

SC for the one car, snail for the winter car... drool.....

Dave,

 

yay for high 15 seconds in the 1/4

 

High 15's!

I'd rather get a Legacy GT and pay like 16k for something with 20k on it, for a 14.1sec 1/4 mile AWD car.

 

yea the legacy gt

 

They even limited the boost in the first three gears to limit torque steer. I think it'll be more like mid-14s in the 1/4.

 

its a daily driver. Anyone racing a fwd car in general should re-evaluate thier life.






Yeah, I'd still take a legacy gt over that.

 

mazdaspeed needs to stop making DD cars. The MS6 would be cool, but they purposfully toned it down.

The Legacy GT is #2 a potential DD buy. E36 M3 is above it.

 

German cars are so unreliable man...don't do it.

 

they need to bring back the MX-3 as an awd turbo using the klze

mmmm I would shat myself

 

 

Just out of curiosity, what's everyone's hardon for AWD? The Mazdaspeed6, while all wheel drive, is not full time all wheel drive, it's primarily fwd. The handling dynamics of awd vehicles is that of a front driver unless you bugger it up by playing with the suspension.

And, yes, I do own an awd car. I bought mine for it's rallying heritage though.
